Munster fares well in raised bog plan

ONLY three of the raised bogs on which turf cutting for domestic use must stop at end of 2011 are in Munster.

They are at Tullaher Lough and Bog in Co Clare, at the Moanveanlagh Bog, in Co Kerry, and Redwood Bog, in Co Tipperary.

About 330 hectares in total are affected in Munster, out of 10,331 hectares nationally at 23 locations.
